A Report to the Joint Chairs of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee and the House Appropriations Committee on the Workload of the UMS Faculty.
Maryland Univ., College Park.
This report provides data and recommendations on the workload and productivity of University of Maryland System (UMS) faculty. It outlines the state budgetary policy that mandates the report and explains UMS policy on faculty workload. The data in the report reflect teaching standards in place in 1993-94, prior to the adoption of the current UMS workload policy. Institutional and composite data provide information on: (1) the number of faculty who taught the standard load; (2) the number granted exceptions from the standard load; (3) the number of course-equivalent units taught; and (4) faculty research, publications, presentations, and service. The report found that, of the 3,759 full-time faculty at UMS institutions, 1,137 were granted exceptions from teaching the standard load. More than half of these exceptions were for departmental administration, externally funded research, and for instruction-related reasons. The overall data indicate that UMS teaching productivity is comparable to those at similar institutions nationwide. Three appendixes provide a copy of the UMS policy on faculty workload and responsibilities, a timeline on the development of the policy, and a copy of the survey form and instructions. (MDM)
